Lydden spout battery Magazine rooms

Gaining access to the magazine room was not easy due to the cold weather, which made the floor slippery. Once inside, the room still retained some original features, but there were numerous cracks in the walls, which made the environment feel quite unsafe.
It is said that the Lyden Spout battery was built in 1941. Originally, it housed six Mark VII naval guns, but it was later updated to include 24 guns on the same mounts. The battery is located south of the A20, and 90% of it was demolished. Only the plotting room, tunnels, mess room, and magazine room have survived.
